Great hotel and an excellent location. In addition to well appointed and clean rooms, the restaurant and bakery downstairs are phenomenal. Rooms do tend to run a bit warm (we were there in June) so you may want to open the windows and/or bring a small portable fan.

The hotel is well located with an excellent bakery below. Wifi is strong, breakfast is decent, however, parking is something you have to call ahead to reserve so please take note. One negative aspect about the hotel is the lack of lights, once you pull the curtain the room is very dark (yes, understandable in the summer) but please provide additional lights in case people want to read.

Good but with some caveats

We had a good experience overall for our 3 night stay with some caveats. Staff were excellent. Room was clean and everything worked well. Rooms on the small side though as was the bathroom. Access areas to the old building where our room was were not good. Hallways and stairs had no ventilation and were quite smelly with old food smell every time we used them. Cold buffet Breakfast was good but cooked breakfast was dull and towards end of breakfast period when we arrived very little left and was lukewarm at best. I think if breakfast is served until 10 am then all food should be available and fresh until then. This is an expensive hotel and all aspects should justify the hefty price

This hotel was in a great location, easily accessible by bus, has very comfortable and quiet rooms and friendly and very helpful staff. The donut/bagel bakery at the entrance is a huge plus, as well! Has a lovely sauna. Highly recommend this as a place to stay in downtown Reykjavik!
